Yinshan Pagoda Scenic Area, as a National Park of China, is listed as a key historical and cultural site under national-level protection and a national AAAA-level tourist attraction. The towering mountain got its name Yinshan (Silver Mountain) from the fact that it is layered with ice and snow, glistening like silver. At the foot of the mountain are cliffs appearing black as iron, hence the name Tiebi (Iron Cliff). Yinshan Tiebi, one of the eight sights of Yanping (an old name of Changping) during the Ming and Qing dynasties, is famous for its numerous ancient pagodas. Currently, 19 ancient pagodas built during the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties still stand tall.
